Been awhile.
I realized it's been awhile since I've posted a journal entry on here. Things have been going okay, I guess. I finally found a job..and got laid off a week later. Bleh. I hate that factory work is so unpredictable. I actually miss the job it was easy work and good paid. For around here anyway. Dan has been gone for about a month now. I still can't believe he joined the Army. >.> At first we weren't allowed to write him, but now we are so it seems a bit better although it isn't as good as actually getting to talk to him. I'm just glad him and Kristen are doing better. That's the main reason he joined so he could provide a good life for him and her and their kids when they have some. XD Which I can't wait for. =P I got to babysit Kayla and Lexis today. I missed them a lot. It had been awhile since I'd got to see them. Amy still keeps trying to leave with them, but hopefully she never gets to. It's untelling where she would take them or who they would be around. Mother keeps trying to get David to get the divorce and try to get custody of them, but he won't. I guess he's still holding on to hope of him and her getting back together. Although I really don't understand why he would want to. I mean other then for the kid's sake. Her baby is due in December, but we still aren't sure whether it's David's or not. I hope it is. At least that way we would get to keep it and know that it's safe.

Me and Kristen have been hanging out a lot lately. I guess because Dan isn't here to occupy us. I've always been fond of her ever since her and Dan first got together, but we weren't really ever close, but now it feels like we are and I'm thankful for that.

I plan on starting college back in the Spring. I dread it a lot. I never should of took a year off. >.> I'll regret it, I know.

And Kayla and Lexis are growing so much. Kayla just turned 2 on the 3rd of this month, and Lexis will be a year old in November. It really does just seem like yesterday when Kayla was born.

And me I'll be 20 soon. >.< In ways I'm excited, but I think I dread it more. I guess it's just the thought of more responsibility and the fact that I will no longer be a teenager. Doesn't mean I can't act like one though. XD

This, I know is the longest post I've ever made on here. While I was typing it I thought of you, Jon. Lol. I remember you use to make long post and I loved reading them. ^-^ I miss you a lot by the way. Haven't got to chat with you in ages it seems.

Um. If anyone actually reads all this and doesn't get bored half way through it..thanks. =D

It HAS been a while.

I haven’t written a long rant on your Gaia profile since some time this summer. I do enjoy writing them for you because I know you enjoy getting them. ^___^ It *always* takes a lot of typing too so whenever I write to you, you probably ALWAYS expect to get a lengthy letter rather than a short comment. Even though there’s a word limit, I’d ignore it and post several times. Believe you me; I’ll stop writing when I think I’ve said everything that needs to be said. And there’s a lot to write~!

School started and I’m almost done getting my textbooks. I’m taking five classes so buying six books isn’t that bad. I ordered four of them online and bought the rest on campus. Seriously, when you do go back to school, remember to check out bigwords.com and write down the IBSN number of all the books you’re required to buy. I’m waiting now for just one more to come in the mail. Using the internet DID save me money and they took less than a week to arrive.

Is it just me or am I the only one who notices that when I’m at home, you’re happy with a job, and when I’m a working man, you’re at home? I could make the same analogy with school but while you’re taking a break that you’re getting TOO comfortable in, I was just too lazy and poor to sign up for class. Go me for multi-tasking work and school now. I’m afraid that it’ll be too much for me >_>;;

There are so many bad habits I probably have but don’t notice. As for the good habits, I know that I want prayer to be one of them, and making it habitual in my life feels like a battle, however pathetic that may sound. There are seasons that I have it and seasons that I don’t. The reason I have it is because I fight. The reason I don’t is because I stop fighting. Well, I’ll make sure of whatever season to pray to the Holy Trinity on whatever’s troubling you, including your unemployment and the new baby.

Nathan may be going to the Air Force next year. It was shocking when he told me. I REALLY don’t like the idea of my friends disappearing. He may not be my biological brother, but he IS my brother. His reasons are to gain the means in the military to pursue his dream. Dan’s reason is to better support his family, which is a dream itself. I can understand wanting that. I guess both of them have dreams. And you can’t get in the way of a man and his dream.

I agree with your thoughts on David and his daughters. Seriously, I would take the kids and leave. I agree with your mother. So as far as I’m concerned, the moment my love walks out the door and into another man’s house, it’s over; the kids are mine unless she comes back and quits her nonsense. “I’m not the one who stopped being a husband or a father, so the children stay with me,” would be my defense.

Hahaha, since my mother runs off to help my grandfather now, I’m left watching Michael and David. Babysitting is a lot of work that I don’t think I was cut out for anymore. I can play with them but making sure they do their homework or clean up after themselves is another thing. I know you love watching Kayla and Lexis so I hope you spend more time with them while your not busy working or going to school this fall and winter.

OMG. Fall!!! ^//^ It’s coming soon. Heh. You love the color orange but I love the season that makes me think of orange. It's your favorite season too, I think. I forget. I KNOW you love the cold. So that means it's WINTER! Heh. Christmas is coming real soon.

Lol. Dan’s absence came with a blessing. Kristen sounds like a nice lady. If you like her, she’s probably cool. Does she work or go to school too? Speaking of school, that’ll be weird when you go back to college in the spring. Both of us will be going to school~ Never seen it happen before. Who will watch the kids? Those cute little ones are going to keep surprising you the older they get! They'll always be your little nieces though. I'm hoping my brothers grow bigger than me. XDDD

September the 23rd! Nothing really changes, except the daunting fact that you’re almost 21. It's in less than a month too~!

Indeed. It IS the longest post you’ve ever made. No wonder you thought of me, lol. Shana, I miss you too. What ever happened to chatting almost every other day!?

If I represent your online friends, then I can say for us all that we kinda do wanna know how you're doing and what’s up~ And this journal entry summarized it pretty well.

Enjoy Gaia's summer party while it still lasts. I REALLY like the items in this one =D When you got your shirt, I bet you were happy (since it's orange). I was happy when I got the water balloon splash. Hence why I got my avi out of his formal attire and into this. =P

Okay! I'm going unconscious and babbling. Sleep well!

-Jon
